child looking through barsIn my interactions with kids in the local mobile home park, I see a lot of behavior and emotional issues. Come to find out, they  are dealing with people close to them, notably their parents, being put in prison.

I wonder what research is out there about the impact of a parent in prison when I child is young?

I know my university has a week long summer program through the psychology department specifically for kids with a parent in jail, so I do know people and groups are taking notice and trying to come alongside these kids and support them.
